The comb over

I was standing outside one day when I noticed a gentleman exiting the building. As he exited, the wind blew pretty hard and this guys hair rose up off his head. He had taken what hair he had and combed it over the top of his head and then sprayed it down with an ample amount of hairspray. When the wind blew, it caught his hair and lifted the entire "patch" up.

I, too, have thinning hair. I have always had thin hair but it is definitely thinning more and more each day. I have told Trish that I am not concerned with going bald; hair for a man is an accessory. So, if I awoke tomorrow morning and found all my hair on my pillow, for a moment or two, I would probably be bummed, but, then, I would think, "Hey, one less thing to worry about." The issue is this one hair a day that gets old. However, I don't try to "hide" my hair loss; it is what it is.

Today's word is something that I came across and added to, which says, "A lie is like a bald spot, the larger it gets, the harder it is to cover up. Just tell the truth - it's so much easier.

We have discussed before that people will tell a lie, then, have to tell a lie to cover that lie and, then, you know how it goes. The larger the lie gets, the harder it is to cover up. Before long, what started as an innocent little white lie has become something too large to cover up. Why not just tell the truth?

There is little I can do about my follicle challenges. There is lots that I can do about telling the truth.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
